Following up on his recent letter about the future of the private island market, Farhad Vladi has provided Private Island News with a comprehensive list of private islands which have made their way into public hands.

The recent decision of a nature trust and provincial government of Nova Scotia (Canada) to buy 100 private islands on the coast of Nova Scotia is a turning point for the private island market, says Farhad Vladi in a letter to Private Island News.

Another private island book has this week hit the market, this time taking a look at some of the island market’s best kept secrets – the incredible Alpine islands of Switzerland, Germany, Austria and Italy.
